You’ll also support the documentation, metadata and data catalogues needed to ensure solutions are well understood, supportable and ready for business handover, while identifying opportunities to improve reliability, automation and delivery efficiency.

Operating in a modern cloud data environment, you’ll work with technologies including Azure, Databricks and Power BI, with the opportunity to explore how AI and emerging technologies can improve the way data and analytics solutions are delivered.

You’ll also bring:

Strong SQL and working knowledge of Python, with experience across modern cloud and data environments, ideally including Azure, Databricks and ETL/ELT pipelines.
Experience across data modelling, testing, CI/CD and release practices, with the judgement to navigate priorities and keep delivery moving.
Working knowledge of Power BI, metadata, data lineage and cataloguing, with a focus on quality and effective handover.
A confident communication style, with the ability to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions and build trusted relationships across business and technical teams.

You’ll bring a curious, continuous-improvement mindset and an interest in emerging technologies, including Generative AI and LLMs. Most importantly, you’ll bring a practical delivery focus and the curiosity to keep looking for smarter, more effective ways of working.
